Of the commission was IN going TO At

Harrisburg. Mr.. Niles, ex-Auditor
General, was very emphatic in his state

people of the whole State, and Harris
burg is peculiarly the place where it
should be performed. Cresson is prefer

of the department, published October l,
1894, the one issued during President
Authur's administration, and that of

The total number Of employees in the de
